I Am Not The Same
I uttered these words yesterday while listening to yet another message that felt tailor-made for me. And no, I’m not complaining, I could not be more grateful for a patient and loving God willing to teach me how and when I need it most. I just needed to remind myself of that very thing, I…

The Unfamiliar Road Back to Me(li)
“Well, write at least two lines,” my beautiful friend Eugenia encouraged me tonight at 7:04 pm as she checked in with me about the goal I set for myself to post a blog today. The truth is, I’ve been wanting to get back here since the post I wrote last year (which happens to be…

I Need Your Help
Today is one of those days where I write out of obedience and need, more than desire. Like the title says, I need your help. I also feel the immense need to preface this whole thing by saying, as vulnerable as people set me out to be, I don’t feel great about sharing this, to…

Finding Strength in the Power of Worship
In the process of healing my mind, my heart, my everything, I’ve found the power of worship. When I’ve had episodes of terrible anxiety (like tonight) and have turned to worship, I’ve found healing. Spiritual healing alone may not be enough, therapy without divine intervention is worthless… But when the divine and the God-designed meet,…

Birthday thank you to her
So my birthday was today and I couldn’t have had a stranger birthday. So different from what I imagined. But that’s what happens with expectations, they usually let us down and leave us disappointed. Last night I got into a car accident that although wasn’t bad nor left anyone injured, it depleted me of any…

How A Simple Game of Trivia Crack Helped Me Trust Myself
So the other day I started a game of Trivia Crack and doubted myself to know the answer, only to choose the wrong one and the right one was my original option. Then it happened a second time. By the third time, I decided to not question myself and ended up getting 4 of the…
